Daily Guide 11th November 2024 (Scripture Union) MESSAGE
There is a trumpet call for jubilant praise and celebration of the Lord, for the works of God amongst the people. This was in connection with the Feast of Trumpets (see Leviticus 23:24,34), which were designed to commemorate Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. God reminded the people of His intervention in their lives as individuals and as a nation on various occasions (vs.6,7). The celebration was an established ordinance of God and He expected this to be done.
In vs.8-10, God warned them against idolatry and rebellion, asserting His position as the Lord, their God. Yet the people would not listen. What a tragedy! What a disappointment! God still expects us today to praise and acknowledge Him for His numerous interventions in our lives and circumstances. God also urges us to listen to Him and obey His voice (vs.8,11,13), otherwise, He may give up on us (v.12).
Read Romans 1:28; Hebrews 10:31 to see the consequences of turning our backs on God. On the other hand, see the blessings of listening and obeying God’s voice in vs.13-16 and Deuteronomy 28:1-2.
Practice/Word Application
And so? Set your mind to listen to God daily as you read and obey His word.
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Lord, I confess that often I don’t listen to you and I have been missing my blessings. Grant me the grace to listen to you always.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Matthew 19:26
